Micah Peavy has been cleared, moving off the Pelicans injury report after being listed day-to-day. He is now available as New Orleans opens its slate at Oklahoma City.
What happened
Peavy was upgraded to Cleared on the Tuesday, Sept. 8 injury report, filed at 10:22 AM ET. He had been listed Day-To-Day since Sunday, Sept. 6, with the report citing Rest and Other as the reason. No further detail was given on the earlier listing, and the report carries no additional comment on his clearance.
What it means for the Pelicans
New Orleans opens at Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 8:00 PM ET, and Peavy's clearance means he is available for that game. Last season he averaged 15.0 minutes, 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assist over 61 games. In games logged without him, New Orleans leaned on Trey Murphy III (35.5 minutes, 21.5 points), Saddiq Bey (31.2 minutes, 17.7 points), Zion Williamson (29.7 minutes, 21.0 points) and Herbert Jones (28.4 minutes, 8.9 points) for extra floor time. The 2026-27 season has not started, so there is no record with or without him yet.
What to watch
No return timeline was announced with the clearance, since Peavy is now off the injury report entirely. The next injury report will show whether he stays clear through the Oct. 6 opener at Oklahoma City. Beyond that, the Pelicans' 2026-27 schedule has not been laid out in games ahead.
Is Micah Peavy playing at Thunder?
